<div dir="ltr">KGS has announced that it will be running, for the
first time, a "mixed" tournament where both humans and bots can
play on the same terms. This will be held on Saturday and
Sunday, September 17th/18th.
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The tournament is in two divisions, suitable for different
time zones. Both are 19x19, No Handicap, Single Elimination.
The time settings are 30 minutes main time plus Canadian 2
minutes per 10 moves (30m + 2min / 10 moves). The rounds are
spaced 90 min apart, 3 rounds on the first day, remaining
rounds on the second day.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>There are details at <a href="https://www.gokgs.com/tournInfo.jsp?id=1070" target="_blank">https://www.gokgs.com/tourn<wbr>Info.jsp?id=1070</a>
(Asia/Europe) and <a href="https://www.gokgs.com/tournInfo.jsp?id=1071" target="_blank">https://www.gokgs.com/tour<wbr>nInfo.jsp?id=1071</a>
(Americas). Bots may enter both divisions. There are small
prizes, which may be won by bots.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The organisers expect entrants with a wide range of
strengths, and I hope that these will include bots with a
range of strengths. As it's an Elimination tournament, weaker
players are likely to be eliminated on the Saturday. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Entrants are invited to register themselves for this
tournament, using the "Tournament Registration" link at the
top right of the pages cited above. When registering a bot,
please also email me, so that I can check that all bots are
being operated by, or with the approval of, their creators,
and we do not have multiple instances of identical bots.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I hope all bot authors will consider entering this event.</div>
